Dear all-
Thanks so much for the reviews! I send my apologizes to smokinoken951892 and xXxcappie-caseyxXx. I don't think I had thank-yous for last chapter. I really appreciated them!!! Thanks for everyone who favorited, and put on story alert! That made me happy dance! Miley and Oliver are going to have their first argument in this chappy. It's kind of depressing for me to write. But don't worry- they make up!! Sorry for the wait, I've just been having writers block. Thanks mmvok and drummer8907 for commenting and reading my story.
Anyway, here is chapter 8!!!!!! Enjoy!

Miley's living room floor, 7:55 PM
Sorry that took so long, Journal.
Miley and I had to do a small project for Advanced English. Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Oh that reminds me.
My Aunt Bobbie and her two daughters, Julia and Taylor are staying at our house to visit. Fun, eh?
Anyway. I'm sure you want to know the rest of the story from yesterday.
I grabbed her by the waist and then… hoisted her onto my shoulder.
Of course, I wasn't planning to do that. What I really wanted to do was grab her and start making out but that would make things… I don't know… awkward?!
"OLIVER, WHAT ARE YOU DOOOING?" She screeched as I leaned down to pick up the bags
(A/N: Alas, no. They did NOT kiss. Did I not say that they are going to kiss in chapter 15? I'm sorry for my extreme meanness. Please forgive me for what I have done wrong )
"I'm picking you up!" I said happily as I exited the dressing rooms.
I glanced at Desk, who grinned and gave me the thumbs up. I winked at her.
I walked all through Macy's with Miley over my shoulder like that.
I don't remember that I'm strong enough that I could lift Miley up with one arm over my shoulder, and all the shopping bags in the other (Miley clutched her purse and a few bags herself, but still).
People cast us a few humorous glances as Miley pummeled me with her fists and kicked her legs, not even fazing me.
Finally, we made it outside of the store. "Oliver! Don't you EVER do that again!" She said, jokingly shaking an accusing finger at me. "Okay, okay! I'm sorry!" I said, throwing my hands up in defeat. "Yay! I won! Again!" She said happily.
I hate smoothies, Journal. I really do. I hate them. Especially strawberry banana. AT least NOW.
"Ollie, come on, let's get smoothies!" Miley said to me as we walked out of H&M. "Fine, but then can we go? I swear, if I have to carry one more shopping bag, my arms will fall off and start slapping me with anger." She giggled and dragged me by the arm.
We walked into Panera so she could get her fat free smoothie. "Oooh, brownies!" I say, while walking over to where they had all the sweets on display. "I'll pay, Miley." I said to her. "Awwwh, that's sweet! The dorks are in love. Oooh, sss!"
At the same time, Miley and I spun around and were face to face with Amber and Ashley.
"We are not!" Miley and I said in unison. "You are too!" Amber and Ashley said together. "Impossible!" Miley and I said in complete chord, again. "So possible! You're just in denial! Oooh, sss!" Amber and Ashley said. "Come on." I said to Miley, taking her to the quickly shortening line.
I was looking at the desserts list as Miley ordered what ever she was going to get. "Oliver!" "Huh?" "Welcome back," She said slapping my arm. "Ow!" "The lady asked you what you wanted!" "Oh… I'll take the caramel brownie…" "Okay. Is that for here or to go?" "To go." Miley answered for me. "Okay. It's…" Before she could tell us the price, I slapped a ten dollar bill into her hand. "Keep the change." I said to her.
I didn't mean to be rude, Journal, I really didn't. I just wanted to be away from Amber and Ashley.
"Oliver! Why did you snap at that lady?!" "I didn't snap! I'm sorry that you think that!" I said. "Well sorry doesn't cut it!" Miley said. "You need to stop freaking out!" I said angrily. Why does Miley always do these things to me? "I'm not freaking out! You wanna see freaking out, boy?" "Sure! At this point, I don't really care!" "Okay, do you wanna try my smoothie?" Confused by her sudden change of mood I say, "Well I don't know… I gue-" "Okay, great." She smiled somewhat evilly and before I knew it, I was dressed not only in blue and black, but also pink. "MILEY! What was that for?... mhhm, strawberry banana?" "That's what you get when you fool with the 'Miley Cat'. And yes, strawberry banana." "It's good… wait, Miley- I'm sorry…" I begin. "Give me those." She said and rudely grabbed her bags from my grasp.
"Miley wait!" I tossed my brownie to some kid who was asking for it and ran after her. I chased her half way to the mall, until she got tired I guess.
"Miley, look. I'm sorry I said all those things. Miley I love…" "You love what?" She snapped, "Me?"
Before I got to answer, I felt myself be pushed… I was falling, falling, falling… SPLASH.
She pushed me into the large fountain that had topless mermaids riding dolphins (and I don't mean like riding as in like you know what riding). I sat there, shivering in the freezing fountain water.
Some little kid and their mom was walking past. "Mommy- look! There's a new statue in the fountain!" The little boy said, pointing to me. "Honey, that isn't a statue. That's a boy." "Ohhh. Can I give him my quarters so my wishes will come true?" "No." I heard his mom say as they walked off.
A man, who I'm guessing was the father, stopped, looked at me and said, "Sorry kid, but I think that you two are done for." "We were never anything more to being with!" I shouted from the water. He looked at me and walked away. 'I guess I should go find Miley so I can drive her home.' I thought.
I walked through the mall and finally found her sitting on a bench. She had tear stains on her cheeks and her eyes were sad.
"Hey Miley." I said quietly and sat down next to her. She looked at me with those big silvery blue eyes and she gave me a watery smile. "I'm sorry Oliver for being such a bitch back there." "Shhh," I said, putting my finger to her lips, "Don't say that here! That little kid just looked at you!"
Then, a man who must have been the father and husband of the little boy and woman rushed past. HE turned around for a moment, looked at me sadly and said, "I think you ruined it." "Ruined what? We're just friends!" I called out. "Ohhh, I thought she was your girlfriend."
I'm flattered that everyone thinks Miley is my girlfriend but come ON.
I shuddered from the cold water and decided that mockery and stares was not the right way to go.
I stood up, slid on a few slimy pennies and fell on my butt.
Spluttering and blinking water out of me, I climbed out of the side more carefully.
I walked through the mall until I found Miley sitting on a bench, crying.
"Miley," I said softly, "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry I was being such a- a bitch." She said.
I was shocked. Miley was the type of girl who never cussed unless it was completely necessary.
"Miley, don't say that about yourself." "I'm sorry but I was really mea- Oliver, why are you wet?" "You kinda pushed me into the fountain, remember?" "Oh yeah. Sorry." She said. "It's okay." "I guess we should go now." She said, "You can't shop like that."
I grinned. I knew everything would be okay.
Anyway. So now I'm here waiting on Miley and Lilly to come down for our movie night. I think Nate is coming. I don't know about Jake though.
"Come on, Lilly!" I just heard Miley call, "You're butt doesn't look big!!! Okay, yes it does! No, not in a bad way! Yes you look hot, now come on!"
I laughed to myself. Lesbos. No, just kidding.
Jackson walked in, his hair wet and messed up and he had a lemon and a straw on his head.
"Whoa man, what happened to you?" I asked him. "Bad date." "Care to clarify?" I asked. "No." Jackson said, walking down the hallway to his room.
At that precise moment, Lilly was galloping down the stairs like a… horse? She saw Jackson and her eyes grew huge and she tripped down the remaining two steps.
Jackson heard the thuds and rushed over to see what it was.
"Oh. It's you." He said rudely. "Nah, it's an angel!" Lilly said, smiling and putting a halo over her head. "No, she's the devil." Miley said walking down the stairs, putting her pointer fingers up to the sides of her head, making her look like the devil.
She's breathtaking.
Even though she's wearing that lime green tee shirt with the silver horse stenciled on the front and a pair of silver and green boxer shorts, clutching Bearie, she's still as stunning as ever.
Every time I see her, she seems to get more and more gorgeous.
"Would ya get up, Lilly you ol' bum?" Miley said, her southern accent flaring. "Fine." Lilly pouted, "I wish someone was here to help me uppp." She whined. "I'll help you I guess since I'm such a NICE person." Jackson said.
It looked like Miley's eyes were about to pop out of her head. "You're helping HER up? You laughed at ME when I fell down the stairs and broke my arm last year!" "You were eight, Miley." Jackson corrected. "Whatever. Why are you being so nice?" Miley demanded. Jackson rolled his eyes and said, "What is my sissy jealous or something?" "No! I'm just… ugh!" Miley is saying.
I'm laughing and Lilly is watching the two arguing.
"I'm gonna shower unless you have anything else to consult me about?" "Okay. And yes. Why have you been made into a glass of lemonade?" Jackson scowled and walked out of the room.
"That was awkward." I say as Lilly walks to the kitchen to pop some popcorn. "Yeah. I think Lilly likes Jackson." "Me too. Did you see her face when she saw him when she was walking down the steps?" "No, I was still in my room." "Oh. It was like this." I say, distorting my face a bit. Miley giggled and slapped my arm.
Later edit: When she slapped my arm, I felt like a bolt of eletricty shoot through my arm. I jumped. Miley's eyebrows furrowed.
"What are yall talking about?" Jackson just walked into the room. "N-nothing!" I say. "About your lemon!" "WHAT?!" Jackson asked. "The lemon on your head, ya opossum!" Miley said. "Oh." Jackson said. "Did I hear my name?" Lilly wanted to know, holding at tray with sodas and popcorn and candy. "EEP!" She said when she saw Jackson.
Miley smiled evilly. I smirk. Jackson… BLUSHES?
I'm sorry for the short chappy, but as I said, I am having writer's block. If anyone has any ideas for the story, please tell me and I may use them. Please, please, please review! You guys are getting so much better at it! Lol. Love ya'll! XOXO, maddiej93 PS: I updated quick so that's another reason why it was so short!
